can usually reopen it, hit F1 to send it to chat mode, then click the button to make it big again.

ye- just tried and that works but is a bit of a pain.

been playing a little, and discovered it only happens in full screen mode, not windowed.

suppose I will have to get into the habit of switching to F1 mode rather than alt-tabbing out until there's a fix

Lil patch here..
http://theuniversaldownloads.com/GalaxyExe0501a.zip

includes the 'Switch to windowed' button that got lost in the main release.
(A 50.2 will be put up soonish to include that fix and some other lil bits n pirces).

Alt+tab thing is still broke and due for a fix, but that button should make life a bit easier.

(p.s. Hi sonro :] Sorry.. yes.. i know im way overdue on certain deliveries.. lifes a damn pain sometimes :] )

TheUniversal.exe - unable to locate component
This application has failed to star because LIBCURL.dll was not found.

did you install the patch into your Clients folder, over the top of the existing TheUniversal.exe from the full install? The full install includes the libcurl.dll, and should be in the same folder as TheUniversal.exe
